Bologna Double Chance (Win or Draw)

Reason for tip

Atalanta’s 2-1 win over Sassuolo didn’t come with an encouraging performance, as they generated just 0.88 xG to Sassuolo’s 2.7 in Sarri’s first league game in charge. Bologna created some good chances in their slender loss to Lazio, and they can take something away from this trip.

Draw 1-1

Reason for tip

Atalanta drew six of their first nine league games 1-1 last season, and another low-scoring game could be on the cards given the hosts issues creating chances so far. La Dea have scored three times across their first three games under Sarri’s watch.

Atalanta were completely outplayed in their opening win over Sassuolo

Bologna were unfortunate to lose their opening game against Lazio

Early concerns for Sarri

Maurizio Sarri has picked up two wins and a draw as Atalanta boss so far, but he hasn’t made an entirely convincing start for la Dea.

Their league opener last week brought a 2-1 victory over Sassuolo, but they generated just 0.88 Expected Goals, while conceding 2.7. La Dea toiled against Hapoel Tel Aviv in Conference League qualifying, failing to score until the 72nd minute in the second-leg.

Bologna have appointed Domenico Tedesco as their new manager, and he looks capable of getting them in the European mix. The Rossoblu lost 1-0 to Lazio in Tedesco’s first match, but they created enough chances to win the game.

With Atalanta looking a little off the pace in forward areas, they could fall short in a busy start to the campaign. The hosts won only twice at home to their fellow top 10 teams last season, so back the visitors to avoid defeat.
